Juniper have thoroughly enjoyed our Fun Maths Roadshow today. What excellent use they have made of their maths skills. Everyone worked really hard to complete as many investigations as they could. There was some great application of maths skills and fantastic teamwork, wonderful shows of resilience and all round enjoyment Read more…
In preparation for SATs, Year 6 Rowan have been outside completing a scavenger hunt on fractions of amounts. They worked in groups and worked very well with each other. Well done.
This morning we were very fortunate to take part in a maths carousel in the hall with Mrs Grindrod and the Year 5 children. We were able to complete a wide variety of maths challenges within an allotted time. We used our mathematical knowledge to completed the questions. We thoroughly Read more…
As part of our Maths investigations, we looked at following a set of rules to create patterns. We had to work out fractions, percentages, ratio, area, perimeter and symmetry.
This week during our maths lessons we have been finding the perimeter of squares, rectangles and rectilinear shapes. We have been practicing using a ruler to measure the length and weight. The children have worked hard to add the larger numbers together or use different methods to fund the end Read more…
As part of our route in algebra, Year 6 began to explore nth term and how can use our times table knowledge to help. We explored linear sequences, changing the number we start counting from and how nth term can be seen as our times tables, but adjusted in terms Read more…
As part of our algebra lesson on ‘finding the rule’, we looked at how we can create algebraic rules and formulae to solve real world problems. We looked at how we can help create football tables, including writing rules and formulae, to total points, games played and goal difference. We Read more…
In art, year 1 have been learning about and creating 3D art. This week, in forest school, we created our own 3D sculptures, of an animal of our choice, using clay and natural materials. After working so hard in lessons today, we also had some free time exploring forest school Read more…
Juniper have been working on ‘finding the whole’ in Maths this morning. We have used our knowledge of finding fractions of amounts and our times tables to calculate the answers. We’ve drawn some fantastic bar models to visualise and calculate. These have really helped us in our learning.
Birch used base 10 to work out division calculations. We exchanged one 10 for 10 ones when we needed to and then shared equally into groups. For example 75 divided by 3.
